Ann Romney: ‘I Completely Support 90 Percent of Where Mitt Is’

“I don’t think we’re ever exactly on the same page one hundred percent,” Ann Romney told Fox News in an interview that will air Thursday.

Mrs. Romney wouldn’t name a policy or issue the two disagree on, saying, “I’m not going to name one because I don’t think that’s important.  I’m not the one running for president, this guy is.  And I completely support 90 percent of where Mitt is.”

The interview comes as signs point to the 63-year-old mother of five and grandmother of 18 ramping up her campaign schedule. Wednesday, the Romney campaigned announced they hired Sarah Haley, the former Santorum campaign national coalitions director, as her new press secretary.

Ann Romney famously told the Boston Globe during her husband’s unsuccessful Senate run in 1994 they had never had a disagreement, but in the Fox News interview she said “there are places where we disagree,” but pointed out “we don’t yell and slam doors.” Mrs. Romney was teased at the time for the somewhat surprising statement.

The woman who wants to be the next first lady said the country is in “a real fork in the road as to which direction this country is going to go in.”

“I believe if Mitt wins, the country wins.  If Mitt loses, the country loses,” Mrs. Romney said in the interview. “And I really believe that there is a sense in the country that we are in danger and that we have got to turn this country around.”
